You would hope so anyways...

[BUMP]

Nuggets always win Game 1..They will fold like in years past

No fucking question about it!

Its either gonna be this series or the next but they will lose the first game or two then mail it in like the little whiny babies they are. This team is a complete joke, they've gotten by with playing a terrible NO team and a mediocre Dallas team but once they face a quality team and hit adversity. where they have to make adjustments and play smart.........

Referee Assignments
Tue. May 5
Dallas @ Denver: M. McCutchen, M. Callahan, E. Malloy

[dallaskd]

Hopefully if Kidd wont turn the ball over 8 times again, Bass will produce more than 2 points, and we can shoot over 50% it will be enough for a win. All we need is a split.

[BUMP]

Nuggets by 20. Cuban will cry, then get mugged in the parking lot.

Sons what is up with the Cuban hate?

We all know you dream of Cuban plowing your wife in her meatglove sons but is there more?

[lurker]

I have a bad feeling. :(

[leemajors]

where the hell is dirk nowitzki? mavs need some pink elephants to get back in this

[Mavzy45]

Urgent game for the guys in blue!

Less turnovers plz!

A LOT LESS! :bang

[ElNono]

This is Denver's game to lose. But when one of your players is JR Smith and another is KMart, everything is possible.
I missed the first game. Did JJ Barea show his All-Star form again? Or the Spurs series was a fluke?

[Ghazi]

Nuggets ain't that freakin good.

[Mavzy45]

No All-Star appearance for JJ yet! Less than mediocre. :nope

[TampaDude]

Nuggets by 8.

[Morg1411]

Sons what is up with the Cuban hate?

Cuban couldn't plow a Cabbage Patch Doll.

It's easy and fun to hate Cuban. He's obnoxious, he's stupid, and his attempts at machismo are laughable.

All in all, he's a typical Mavs fan. :toast

[DPG21920]

Bass will produce more than 2 points

Just tell him to aim for the top of the backboard.

[IronMexican]

They play today, not tomorrow.

It was 2 in the morning when I wrote that, and I hadn't slept that night. So to me, that counts as yesterday.

Fail. But that's what you get for hoping on board with the Mavs.

[dirk4mvp]

Parker did a great job of responding to Dampier's comments last round. Let's see if he comes out aggressive after K-mart put him on his ass last game.

This thread is not about the Spurs.

[DPG21920]

Watching Lebron get his MVP award gave me chills. I wonder what it feels like to get the MVP award and play a game right after. Not many can say they have done that.

[rayray2k8]

Almost game time Mav fans..
How you feeling about game 2?

[baseline bum]

LOL Dirk flop.

[iggypop123]

thats the home court the lakers needed for game 1. denver is getting away with anything

[mystargtr34]

Josh Howard is just a different player when he plays the Spurs. He pretty much sucks ass when hes not playing SA.

[pauls931]

Once denver realizes the ball is supposed to go into the hoop during layups and dunks, it's going to get nasty.

[endrity]

Having a bum ankle has a lot to do with that.

[dirk4mvp]

lol Birdman is a rock star in Denver.

[endrity]

Dirk playing really well again.

[mystargtr34]

Having a bum ankle has a lot to do with that.

Not just talking about this series. Overall. Its not even Michael Finley - he pretty much torches Bruce Bowen too. He just doesnt seem to ever miss a jumper against the Spurs - then looks like a brain dead 40% jump shooter against other teams.

[Armando]

Looks like Dirk will be getting his calls tonight

[scanry]

Pot head being pot head

[mystargtr34]

Dirk gives props to Birdman, Nene and Martin, now watch him go out and get 40 and foul them all out :lol.

People take his comments too seriously.

[Amarelooms]

As he should he's an mvp douche bag :elephant

poor start by both clubs.

[Amarelooms]

Wrong loser...I didn't say THE mvp...Dirk was a Mvp...stupid ass :elephant

[endrity]

Well the Mavs generally play better against the Spurs, and Howard is one of them. I think Howard played really well in 06 against pretty much everyone, he torched Marion against the Suns as well. And he was probably the best player in 07 against GS. He played really well down the stretch this season. I think it's a mistake to consider the way Howard has played the last year or so as his usual standard. He used to be a monster to cover paired with Dirk. He started well last game as well against Denver, clearely the ankle is a big problem for him right now.

[me15lo]

oh, go nuggets!

I agree he was a monster in 2006 - but hes only done it consistantly for 1 season. I guess it just pisses me off when he struggles against 29 teams in the league, then continues to go for 25+ against the Spurs, bum ankle and all.

[dirk4mvp]

Carmelo carried about 3 different times on that breakaway.

[Libri]

game tied

14-14

[Armando]

Dirk fouled him on the baseline to stop the fastbreak but to no avail

[scanry]

Very careless Basketball by the Mavs...

[Ghazi]

can't let their transition game get going.

[dirk4mvp]

Dirk fouled him on the baseline to stop the fastbreak but to no avail

Nash is on fire right now! Are you seeing this!?

Well again, the Mavs as a team play with a confidence against the Spurs that I wished they had against everyone. But in a way, the Mavs were built to beat the Spurs, so that is why.

[mystargtr34]

Terry has a bit of Manu about him these playoffs, hes not injured like Manu last season, but it looks as though his body is struggling to cope with 82+ games. Especially given the extra load hes had to carry all season with Howard missing games.

Hes looked flat all post season.

[Armando]

Dirk gives props to Birdman, Nene and Martin, now watch him go out and get 40 and foul them all out :lol.

People take his comments too seriously.

I seem to remember Dirk saying something similiar about Marion. 50 points later it was over

[Libri]

Howard goes to the locker room

[Biggems]

hahahaa Dampier goes down like a silly bitch trying to draw the charge and gets mad that the refs dont by his flop

[Biggems]

so, i do believe that the Birdman moonlights as The Miz on Monday Nights.

[mystargtr34]

Funny how athletic the Spurs made the Mavs look.

The Nuggs are doing the same to the Mavs.

[Lars]

dunk dunk dunk dunk

Mavs are awful

[Banzai]

Mavs down 6

[DPG21920]

Not gonna lie, this is a fun series to watch, but I am finding great joy in watching the Mavs lose. Hopefully it keeps up :tu

[Amarelooms]

Mavs can't beat this team really...hopefully they win Game 3 to avoid a sweep :elephant

[mavs>spurs2]

Our perimeter D is being exposed against a team that drives. We can't slow them down in transition they just go right to the rim.

[dirk4mvp]

Howard done. This game/series is over.

[Biggems]

Mr. Ed just got sent to the glue factory.....

[Libri]

Howard is done for the night

[TampaDude]

Mavs are lucky to only be down 8 at the end of the 1st...the Nuggets missed 3 or 4 gimmies...they could be up by 16 right now.

[Spursfan092120]

Birdman is a monster.

[DPG21920]

Of course. Howard MVP vs Spurs, Mr. Glass ankle vs Nuggets. Stay healthy my friends.

[mFFL03]

wow billups is going to feed birdman all night

[mFFL03]

PLEASE find a way to foul birdman out

[Warlord23]

Birdman is giving it to the Dallas frontcourt minus the lube

[DPG21920]

I f'ng hate the Mavs and especially Howard. Be sure to stay healthy and go balls out for the Spurs/Mavs championship, then limp out against everyone else.

[dirk4mvp]

FML. I'm getting off and going to find some hallucinating drugs.

[mFFL03]

god melo is getting no calls

[Spursfan092120]

Singleton misses a dunk and then walks back, backwards..doesn't even find the ball...wow...no hustle..in the PLAYOFFS?!?!

[mFFL03]

please tell me that is birdman's 3rd

[Ghazi]

That 5 pt swing singleton dunk JR 3 kinda makes me soft

Fuck him. He's been completely unreliable all year long. We can still get it done without him.

[Findog]

Mavs just need to keep fighting. At least go down swinging.

[Warlord23]

I wonder if Billups has some kinda mental block when playing vs Kidd, his shooting has been pretty bad in both games. Didn't Kidd and the Nets take out Billups and the Pistons 2 years in a row in the playoffs?

[monoslyab1k]

Vince Carter for Josh Howard, lateral move

John Salmons for Josh Howard, lateral move

Gerald Wallace for Josh Howard, lateral move


:rolleyes Mavs fans sure look stupid as fuck now.

[DPG21920]

Honestly, are the Nuggets that good or are the Spurs that bad? How bad is it that PJ is taking jabs at your team?

[Spursfan092120]

Howard done. This game/series is over.
Dude..I was watching a movie..what happened to J Ho?

[dirk4mvp]

Fuck him. He's been completely unreliable all year long. We can still get it done without him.

If Dirk continues attacking, there's a shot. Assface missing dunks doesn't help tho.

[Spursfan092120]

Honestly, are the Nuggets that good or are the Spurs that bad? How bad is it that PJ is taking jabs at your team?
Both..Nuggs are good man...and Spurs were BAD without Manu..we just didn't have that extra scorer that you have to have. We didn't have enough people stepping up on a consistent basis..

[dirk4mvp]

I think a collective group of spurstalk posters could beat the Mavs when JET and Dirk aren't on the court.

[monosylab1k]

Vince Carter for Josh Howard, lateral move

double technicals, Martin and Hollins

:wow Shocking development. You mean people on SpursTalk can talk about the same thing multiple times. :wow

Misplaced hate brings disgrace to races. Something built up?

[Brazil]

If the mavs always played with the same intensity than against the spurs they would have won at least 3 rings

[ElNono]

Denver is chucking treys like there's no tomorrow... and they're still up.
I expect them to start going in at some point...

[Spursfan092120]

What happened to Howard?

[timvp]

Misplaced hate brings disgrace to races. Something built up?

And although it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready to see a black president.

Uh.

[Brazil]

What happened to Howard?

not sure but I'd say he is injuried

[ElNono]

What happened to Howard?

His bong broke on the way to game 2, and he got a panic attack followed by depression.

[Banzai]

Kidd!

[Libri]

Kidd 3 at the buzzer

[Ghazi]

can't believe we're only down 3. not sure if we have the horses to make a run but the role players have been pleasant.

Nice finish to half.

[Bob Lanier]

Ahahahahahaha.

[it's me]

lol @ JR hahaha dude can play but he's a MOROONNNN

[DPG21920]

And although it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready to see a black president.

Uh.

Just saying....seems like built up 'ish

[Ice009]

JR Swish is a total fucking twit. WTF was that idiot thinking taking a 3 from near mid court when you had the FULL 24 second shot clock to use.


WHAT A FUCKING TWIT. That one play has pretty much completely changed my mind about him being on the Spurs after that failed Brent Barry trade. I don't think I'd want him on the Spurs even if he wanted to play for free.

Unbelievably dumb, dumb, dumb player and play.

[mavs>spurs2]

lol @ JR hahaha dude can play but he's a MURDERER

Yikes, Mavs fans slamming on the brakes.

JR Smith has the basketball IQ of a brick.

[Spursfan092120]

Is Howard really injured? I missed it...

[TampaDude]

The Nuggz are trying to give this game away...will the Mavs be smart enough to take it???

[DPG21920]

lol JJ Barrera

[The Third Man]

That last ill-advised shot by Smith points to a real weakness on that team. The Nuggets Achilles Heel will be the still shockingly high knucklehead ratio on their team. For all of that talent, they still have some major league dumbfucks getting big minutes. Will Billups be able to cover up for all of that? We shall see...

[Bob Lanier]

Yikes, Mavs fans slamming on the brakes.
Too bad Earl didn't.

This is Denver's game to lose. But when one of your players is JR Smith and another is KMart, everything is possible.

[timvp]

Dirk has gone from slightly overrated to massively underrated. KG somehow got a pass for not being able to do anything by himself. Dirk doesn't have that much more talent around him yet he's somehow held to a much higher standard.

Dirk > KG

[it's me]

fixed


WTF??? your sorry ass second unit isn't guarding JR..... dude can't murder a 2 year old kid playing ball.....

[Ghazi]

I just don't understand this TNT bullshit. Dirk gives their defense some credit and gets ripped on for it? He NEVER said they could guard him. And it's pretty clear that Dirk cannot be guarded by them! At least so far.

[mavs>spurs2]

WTF??? your sorry ass second unit isn't guarding JR..... dude can't murder a 2 year old kid playing ball.....

No man. JR Smith is LITERALLY a murderer. After a long history of reckless driving, he ran a stop sign drunk, and ejected his friend from the vehicle, killing him. Dudes a Grade A Piece of Fucking Shit

[DPG21920]

KG brings the effort on the defensive end. That is where everyone makes the differentiation. Fair or not, that is what people are looking at. Dirk is clearly more talented, but in terms of winning, defense will always get more credit.

[DPG21920]

lol Mavs fan spitting venom.
lol Howard MVP
lol Webber+PJ = hatin'

[Ghazi]

Nuggets are only 3-16 from arc, let's hope the law of averages don't kick in tonight

[dallaskd]

If Howard shows up, mavs win.

[endrity]

Dirk has gone from slightly overrated to massively underrated. KG somehow got a pass for not being able to do anything by himself. Dirk doesn't have that much more talent around him yet he's somehow held to a much higher standard.

Dirk > KG


Thank you for that! I wouldn't change a single word. Dirk has never had anyone as good as Ray or Pierce in his teams.

[j.dizzle]

hahaa why does JR Smith always shoot his three's from the halfcourt line? haha dude is stupid as hell. These guys trying to act all hard which will hurt them in the long run. Martin & Nene always seem to get pissed off for nothing, the thug act is old.

[DPG21920]

Thank you for that! I wouldn't change a single word. Dirk has never had anyone as good as Ray or Pierce in his teams.

What??? Dirk's team has had plenty of talent.

[timvp]

KG brings the effort on the defensive end.KG wasn't much of a defender on Minnesota. He played defense for one year and a half until his knee popped. Pre-Boston he wasn't much better on defense than Dirk.


That is where everyone makes the differentiation. Fair or not, that is what people are looking at. Dirk is clearly more talented, but in terms of winning, defense will always get more credit.?

Offense gets credit. You didn't see Raja Bell winning back-to-back MVPs. Bruce Bowen is unknown to average NBA fans. LeBron James was a superstar before he started playing defense. Kobe plays hard defensively about 5% of the time and he's still MJ Jr.

Dirk isn't a great defender but he's somewhere close to average. Dirk >>>>>>>>>>> Nash defensively.

[Amarelooms]

What??? Dirk's team has had plenty of talent.

Denver has more :elephant

[j.dizzle]

I just don't understand this TNT bullshit. Dirk gives their defense some credit and gets ripped on for it? He NEVER said they could guard him. And it's pretty clear that Dirk cannot be guarded by them! At least so far.
:lol no joke. They make Dirk's comments like its some huge deal. They just dont have anything else to talk about so they just pick stupid shit that doesn't mean anything.

[Findog]

Dirk is the best player on the court. Even with Howard, however, I gave the Nugs a slight overall edge in talent. My pick was Denver in 7. Without Howard, Dallas becomes infinitely easier to guard on defense and attack on offense.

[sribb43]

C-Webb, Barkely and Kenny Smith are fuckin' idiots

[timvp]

What??? Dirk's team has had plenty of talent.

Dirk has never had anything close to the talent around him that KG had in 2008. KG in 2004 probably had a better supporting cast than Dirk has during his prime.

Dirk almost won a championship in 2006 with what would have been one of the worst supporting casts of all time.

[Bob Lanier]

Nuggets are only 3-16 from arc, let's hope the law of averages don't kick in tonight
What the hell is "the law of averages?"

[peskypesky]

love to see Dirk falling on his ass

[Banzai]

mavs are hanging around..they just have to make a good push.

[timvp]

You mean Dirk?

Good point :wakeup

KG in 2006 was leading his team to 33 wins despite playing with two other players who averaged more than 19 points.

[endrity]

Wow, watching timvp making smart argument after smart argument is bringing a lot of joy to me.

[dallaskd]

hell yeah, dirk has to take over

[peskypesky]

that Dirk is fucking good...can we trade Parker for him?

[Libri]

tied game

66-66

[peskypesky]

time for Billups to step up

[Spursfan092120]

Chauncey Freaking Billups..dude is a monster.

[peskypesky]

both teams shooting out the lights

[Spursfan092120]

and so is Terry..lol

[Rogue]

JET for 3

[peskypesky]

how many stratight made baskets is that? like 7?

[UltimA]

Close game so far, someone's going to have a big fourth quarter.

[DPG21920]

All of the talking heads always stress defense. I am not talking about the average Joe. Offense does get credit, obviously, but when it comes to people analyzing the game, they always say defense is what wins you a championship.

I never said Dirk was a terrible defender, but clearly KG has won DPOY.


Dirk has never had anything close to the talent around him that KG had in 2008. KG in 2004 probably had a better supporting cast than Dirk has during his prime.

KG almost won a championship in 2006 with what would have been one of the worst supporting casts of all time.

Overall Dirk has had comparable talent over the course of his career. In 2006-2008, the Mavs had undeniable "talent" despite the "shortcomings" of their team.

[Bob Lanier]

:lmao at Billups with his patented flop

[peskypesky]

now this is playoff basketball. something we didn't see from the Spurs (aside from Tony, Tim, and Bowen).

[Spursfan092120]

Close game so far, someone's going to have a big fourth quarter.
Shit..the way the scoring is going, I'd say both teams are going to have a big fourth quarter.

[sribb43]

Mavs wont win shit in this series if JET doesnt drop 20+

[peskypesky]

refs swallowed their whistles

lmao

[Banzai]

lol dirk...

[baseline bum]

Nowitzki's a fag. What a pussy-ass flop that last possession.

[UltimA]

Shit..the way the scoring is going, I'd say both teams are going to have a big fourth quarter.I mean someone like Billups or Dirk will step up and have a big fourth quarter.

I think it will be close, and could go OT.

[endrity]

As much talent as Dirk had around him, he never had one clear all-star playing with him during his prime year. Howard was the best, and he barely made it in 07. Fact is Dirk had to be monster on offense almost every night for the Mavs to win.

I mean someone like Billups or Dirk will step up and have a big fourth quarter.

I think it will be close, and could go OT.
I hope so...it'd be good to see a good game tonight..after the first one.

[Rogue]

Nowitzki's a fag. What a pussy-ass flop that last possession.
what is a pussy-ass flop like? :lol

[dallaskd]

As much talent as Dirk had around him, he never had one clear all-star playing with him during his prime year. Howard was the best, and he barely made it in 07. Fact is Dirk had to be monster on offense almost every night for the Mavs to win.

Not exactly, When Terry and Howard can both score near 20, theyre unbeatable.

[Bob Lanier]

:lol at the Denver hicks

[mFFL03]

wow....Denver fans have NO class

[mFFL03]

wow....a cut to the commercial type of incident

[baseline bum]

Damn, some fan must have mouthed off to the wrong motherfucker. :lol

[Findog]

were they booing the delay?

[Banzai]

What happened? A Denver fan got hurt?

[timvp]

All of the talking heads always stress defense. I am not talking about the average Joe. Offense does get credit, obviously, but when it comes to people analyzing the game, they always say defense is what wins you a championship. Dirk was a couple plays away from winning a championship in 2006. And talking heads put Steve Nash into the freakin' Hall of Fame.


but clearly KG has won DPOY. :wakeup


Overall Dirk has had comparable talent over the course of his career. In 2006-2008, the Mavs had undeniable "talent" despite the "shortcomings" of their team.If he has had comparable talent and KG made multiple trips to the lottery, who is the better player? The Mavs are talented but nowhere near as talented as last year's Celtics. Every player in the Celtics starting lineup is better than the Mavs starters around Dirk. And the Celtics had a better bench.

[dallaskd]

Well Denver is kind of close to Utah...

[Libri]

What happened?

[mFFL03]

is cuban even there tonight? I haven't seen him...

[endrity]

Not exactly, When Terry and Howard can both score near 20, theyre unbeatable.

Yes but they never were consistent 20 pts scorer, at least until this year when Terry was very good. But in years past Terry would go from Player of the Month candidate to average player.

Fact is Dirk never had a legit All Star playing next to him in his prime years. KG had two others.

[timvp]

Denver fans to throw coins on the court in 3 .... 2... 1 ....

[Libri]

Terry 3

[dallaskd]

fuck, damp and hollins both have 4...

[mFFL03]

an incident with a fan sitting next to the Dallas bench held up play....forcing all the players to leave the area....dirk was the first one to sit down again...

[Bob Lanier]

What a fucking pass!

I am not arguing that KG is better than Dirk. I am pointing out why Dirk gets hassled-hoffed and KG not so much. I guess DPOY means nothing.

[IronMexican]

Damp is so fucking terrible.

[mFFL03]

learn to dunk damp..jeezus

Im agreeing with you, im just saying when jet and howard show up, the mavs can beat anyone in the league.

[Banzai]

Jet is on.

[UltimA]

Wow, they are hurrying for no reason it seems like.

[Libri]

Damp missed a 2 inch layup

[peskypesky]

Denver sucking without the Birdman

[dallaskd]

Thank god... Hollins for Damp

[Spursfan092120]

lady was feeling feint

[timvp]

When Denver gets beat, it's going to be hilarious. They are going to implode. I'm not sure if the Mavs will beat them but these are still the typical Nuggets that will beat themselves when it counts.

[Banzai]

did they say a fan fainted?

[Rogue]

LOL, Martinet lost a free throw.

[mFFL03]

lane violation everytime by dallas...

[UltimA]

Horrible pass my Kidd.

[Bob Lanier]

Kidd is afraid to try to lay the ball up. Nice.

[IronMexican]

Did Terry not want to get that Turnover?

[DPG21920]

did they say a fan fainted?

Something like that.

[Banzai]

Kidd with the smooth pass...lol

[UltimA]

Kidd is afraid to try to lay the ball up. Nice.All he had to do is turn around and lay it in, there was no one around him.

[Spursfan092120]

did they say a fan fainted?
she was feeling feint...they had a doctor take care of her.

[Amarelooms]

JASON KIDD...you stupid ass cock sucker...you have a WIDE OPEN LAYUP and you throw the ball away. IDIOT YOU GOTTA TRY AND SCORE SOMETIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bob Lanier]

she was feeling feint

[monosylab1k]

JASON TERRY, WHAT THE FUCKIN' FUCK?????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?












































seriously

[timaios]

Kidd is afraid to try to lay the ball up. Nice.

He was WIDDDE OPEN !!!
Ridiculous ! :downspin:

[mavs>spurs2]

Why is Kidd turning the ball over more than he ever has in his career?

[monosylab1k]

Why is Kidd turning the ball over more than he ever has in his career?

Why is Jason Terry letting Billups take the ball?

[DPG21920]

Why is Kidd turning the ball over more than he ever has in his career?

Mark Cuban: "based on my calculations Kidd has the 2nd best turnover ratio ever in basketball".

[Libri]

the bird man is in

[j.dizzle]

only problem was kidd..he passes too much but why when you have a wide open lane & nobody around you?? He actually has a nice shot too so maybe he should take some if he's open. Dallas cant afford turnovers like that with Howard out.

[Bob Lanier]

the bird man is in




That's "The Bird" to you.
